For three full decades, on television and in film, actor William Shatner has portrayed one of the legendary heroes of science fiction: James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise(TM) . Although Kirk was believed to have perished at the conclusion of Star Trek(R) Generations(TM), his amazing literary resurrection led to an acclaimed trilogy of national bestsellers, The Ashes of Eden, The Return, and Avenger. Now William Shatner again brings his unique blend of talents as actor, writer, director, and producer to continue the thrilling new trilogy that began in Spectre, as Jim Kirk must confront the most dangerous enemy of his career -- himself. The Mirror Universe is a dark and twisted reflection of our own, where humans and Vulcans live as slaves to a brutal alliance of Klingons and Cardassians -- an alliance long believed to be the creation of one man: the feared and hated Emperor Tiberius, the Mirror Universe counterpart of James T. Kirk. But just as Kirk survived his own age to live in the era of a new generation of heroes, so Tiberius now returns to fulfill his mad dreams of total domination -- not just of his universe, but of Kirk's as well. From the nightmarish landscape of the Mirror Universe Earth to the joys of impending parenthood and marriage to the woman he loves, the incomparable Teilani of Chal, Kirk is propelled into his most personal and dangerous mission yet as he fights to uncover the secret of Tiberius' return, and learn the terrible truth behind the madman's real plans for the Federation. With the fate of two universes hanging in the balance, Star Trek(R): Dark Victory is Star Trek storytelling at it its best.… (meer)
Shatner är bra i samarbete med författarna Reeves-Stevens, mycket bra. Det är som alltid mycket svängar och snabba ändringar och man kan som läsare inte vara helt säker på utgången förrän utgången faktiskt är där. Det är det som gör boken så oerhört bra. Att det sedan finns vissa inkonsekvenser gentemot annan litteratur som irriterar en flitig läsare får vi väl ha visst överseende med, men det är också det som sänker betyget. En höjdarsekvens är en med Garak där han låter konspirationsteorier flöda:
Garak: "Det finns inget som en bra konspiration för att sätta igång hjärtat och sinnet". M'Benga: "Det är ingen konspiration". Garak: "Men, käre doktor, det är ju precis vad de vill att du skall tänka." Bashir: "Snälla Garak, nu går du för långt, t.o.m. för att vara du." Garak: "Du är oerhört känslig omkring detta, doktor. Det är nästan så man tror att du är involverad i de mörka krafter som drar sig samman mot henne." M'Benga skrattar högt, varpå Garak svarar: "Att vägra tro på att de existerar ger dem bara mer makt. Tro mig, jag vet." ( )
The sequel to Shatner's Star Trek novel "Spectre". In this book, Kirk is forced to help a duplicitous Federation mount an offense against his mirror universe counterpart, Tiberius, when a mirror-universe being poisons his pregnant wife on their wedding day. Interesting, but Shatner writes like he acts, and the confrontation between Kirk and Picard near the end does justice to neither captain. ( )

I have a dear friend who has been steadfast and loving and kind and perceptive. She is a woman of the soil and of the spirit. Her looks are glamorous and her work makes her sweat; her name is Donna Moore and I love her dearly. I dedicate this book to this grand woman.

Prologue: The Enterprise hung dead in space, surrounded by the floating ruin of the crossover device, like and ancient sunken vessel shrouded in kelp and debris.

But James T. Kirk was utterly and hopelessly defeated.
